Cutting discs are specialized tools used for slicing through various materials, including metal, stone, and concrete. They are typically made from abrasive materials, such as aluminum oxide or diamond, and are designed to be attached to power tools like angle grinders or cut-off saws. The discs come in different sizes and thicknesses, depending on the specific application and material being cut. These discs operate by spinning at high speeds, allowing them to efficiently cut through tough surfaces. Proper safety precautions, such as wearing protective eyewear and gloves, are essential when using cutting discs to prevent injuries from flying debris or accidental contact.
